Olympic Planning Consultation Opens Amidst Complaints

February 15th, 2007 · No Comments

After submitting the largest planning application in European history, the Olympic Delivery Authority has now opened the application to public consultation, timed to coincide with the end of the appeals period for Compulsory Purchase Orders relating to the games.

The first criticisms of the plans are starting to roll in as well:

The Green Party said the plans failed to break new ground in terms of sustainability, while the athletes’ village fell short of existing standards.

Passenger watchdog London TravelWatch said there were not enough details or concrete improvements for public transport.

The plans will be on show at Stratford shopping centre from 2pm to 7pm on Friday, February 23 and from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, February 24.

Comments can be posted to Head of Development Control, Olympic Delivery Authority Planning Decisions Team, Mailpoint 32B, 23rd Floor, 1 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LN.

They can also be sent via planning.enquiries@pdt.oda.gov.uk, london2012.com/planning or fax 020 8430 6021 before March 19.
